Concubine Xiang knew that Ling'er's heart was for her, but now what master and servant are affectionate and what single-mindedness is just a burden for her.

She didn't plan to tell anyone about this matter except Qiu Lianke, and still said perfunctorily to Ling'er: "You don't need to ask more about the affairs of this palace, just do your part." ”

Ling'er clenched her fists, she didn't know how many times Concubine Xiang said this to her, she didn't know what identity to use to stay by Concubine Xiang's side, whether to be a maid like Yanling, obey her words, or continue to give advice to her.

At the beginning, when she recommended herself, she felt that Concubine Xiang would reuse herself, and the intelligence she thought was useful, but now, it is the opposite of the beginning.

"Niangniang, the decoction is ready." At this time, Yanling returned, holding a bowl of hot medicinal soup in his hand, still bubbling with a thick mist, exuding the smell of herbs.

"Bring it." Concubine Xiang stretched out her hand to take the saffron decoction boiled by Yanling, and the decoction was still a little hot through the ceramic bowl, but she didn't care at all. I blew it on the side of my mouth, and then took a sip, the hot heat made the tip of her tongue numb, and she couldn't help frowning.

"!" Ling'er saw her drink the decoction, she had the heart to stop it but was powerless, she said everything now as if it was a lot of words, and Concubine Xiang didn't listen to her anymore.

After a few more sips, it was so hot that she couldn't stand it, so Concubine Xiang put the decoction aside for the time being, thinking that she would wait for a while to dry and then continue to drink it, and it would be effective if she drank too much.

At this time, someone suddenly came, it was a little eunuch, and he was slightly blessed at the door of the palace and said to Concubine Xiang: "Niangniang, Your Majesty invites Niangniang to the imperial study." ”

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xiang frowned slightly, why did she quietly push the decoction away at this time, stood up and looked at the little eunuch at the door of the hall and asked, "Did Your Majesty say what happened?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't tell the minions, and the minions just came to pass on His Majesty's message, so Niangniang went with the minions, right?" The little eunuch said with a faint smile, he really didn't know what Cang Rinchen was looking for Concubine Xiang to do, but when he saw Cang Rinchen's face when he was in the imperial study, it must not be a good thing.

Concubine Xiang frowned, Cang Linchen hadn't seen her for a long time, she would be happy to do it normally, but at the moment she was reluctant to meet, thinking weakly if it was because she knew her ugly things?

However, they all sent people over, she couldn't help but go, the worst thing was that she had just drunk saffron, if something unforeseen suddenly happened in the imperial study, how would she explain it to Cang Rinchen.

"Mother?" Seeing that Concubine Xiang was unmoved, the little eunuch urged again: "Your Majesty can wait for Niangniang in the imperial study!" ”

"Got it." Concubine Xiang bit the corner of her lip and took two steps forward, at this time she could only go to the imperial study with a hard head, thinking that it was fortunate that the saffron decoction was drunk and did not hide, and it should not have a medicinal attack for the time being, as long as she went back quickly.

"Mother, the slave will accompany you." Ling'er followed behind herself, Yan Ling didn't know, but she understood very well, she had a fetus and drank saffron, in case she slipped in the imperial study, it would be the worst thing.

Concubine Xiang did not refuse, anyway, at this time, it was no different who went to the imperial study by herself, followed the little eunuch to the imperial study, and the moment she stepped into the palace door, Concubine Xiang's feet seemed to be rooted in place, and her body was stiff.

Qin Hao turned around and saw Concubine Xiang standing at the door of the hall, the corners of his mouth outlined a grim smile, and his ghost-like eyes fell on her.

Concubine Xiang was shocked, and she only felt that her body was about to fall down as soon as she was weak, but fortunately, Ling'er supported her on the side to avoid the danger of falling.

"Concubine Xiang, you came just in time, I have something I want to verify with you." Cang Linchen asked expressionlessly, but his dark eyes seemed to exude a cold brilliance.

Concubine Xiang came back to her senses when she heard Cang Linchen's voice, she only felt cold hands and feet, she knew that the real nightmare was quietly coming, her steps seemed to be filled with lead, she didn't know how she walked into the hall, how she knelt in front of Cang Linchen, and the fear in her heart had swallowed up the only calmness she had.

The most worrying thing finally came, she didn't think about it at all, how would she face Cang Rinchen if the matter was revealed, now that Qin Hao was beside her, she didn't know why Qin Hao appeared in the imperial study.

"Niangniang......" Seeing that Concubine Xiang knelt down without warning, Ling'er also knelt down, Concubine Xiang, as a concubine, did not need to kneel and bow at this time.

Seeing that her face was abnormal, and the pupils of her widened eyes were dilated, as if she had encountered something that made her jealous and fearful, Ling'er had already understood that this trip was probably the point of no return.

Cang Rinchen looked at her coldly and knelt down, and asked seriously as if he was trying a case: "Do you know this person next to you?" ”

Concubine Xiang tilted her head slightly and glanced at Qin Hao beside her, shuddered and hurriedly shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't know, I don't know him!" ”

Her actions were too abrupt, and no one would believe her words, but Cang Rinchen only asked slowly, "Yes, he is the guard of your Fengle Palace." ”

Hearing this, Ling'er seemed to have understood something, and the man kneeling in front of him almost knew his identity, it was Qin Hao, who Concubine Xiang had been looking for for a long time.

What happened between Concubine Xiang and Qin Hao, Ling'er had a faint guess, and the answer that vaguely surfaced in her heart had already made her limbs and bones cool.

"The concubine hasn't seen him, Your Majesty, the concubine really hasn't seen him." Concubine Xiang denied it vigorously, her pale face was full of timidity, and she was incoherent when she wanted to cover it.

Cang Rinchen raised his eyebrows and was not in a hurry, but turned to look at Qin Hao and said: "You said that Concubine Xiang is pregnant, and the child in her belly is yours, but she said that she doesn't know you, what else do you have to say, framing a concubine is a capital crime." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the imperial study, not only Ling'er but also Ande was stunned, he didn't know what Cang Rinchen was busy with recently, and when he heard it, he stared at Concubine Xiang and Qin Hao as if he had seen a new continent.

Ande is no better than others, he has participated too much, and he finally understood after being frightened, what Cang Rinchen did was to dig a big pit and lead Concubine Xiang to jump in.

I have to say that this trick is ruthless enough, but Ande is used to it, Cang Linchen is a benevolent monarch, but he also has a bottom line, and he will never be merciful when he is ruthless.

"There is nothing that the subordinates have said, please see what Your Majesty knows." Qin Hao calmly kowtowed and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to take the pulse of Concubine Xiang, she is indeed pregnant, it is the mother who is committed to the first, and now she wants to kill the child, and her subordinates can't bear to separate the flesh and blood, so please ask Your Majesty to call the shots." ”

"Separation? Do you know that adultery with a concubine is a sin of the nine clans! Cang Linchen slapped his desk and scolded, his face pale.

Qin Hao's neck shrank, and then he felt scared, and hurriedly said: "I beg Your Majesty to be kind, my subordinates really love Concubine Xiang, and I beg Your Majesty to let my subordinates and Niangniang and unborn children have a way to live." ”

His words were earnest, and Concubine Xiang looked up at him in surprise, clearly knowing that he was talking nonsense, but she didn't know what good it was for him to do this.

Cang Rinchen's sword eyebrows frowned slightly and fell silent, and only after a few years did he order: "Ande, you go to the Imperial Doctor, I want to hear what Imperial Doctor He has to say." ”

"Your Majesty, don't, the concubine is not pregnant, what he said is false, he must have been instructed to frame the concubine, the concubine is not sorry for Your Majesty, Your Majesty has to believe in the concubine!" Concubine Xiang immediately panicked when she heard that Imperial Doctor He was coming, and knelt down and walked to the table, holding the tassel tablecloth on the desk, I am afraid that she didn't know that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Since you are not pregnant, you will wait for the doctor to come before making a decision." Cang Linchen looked at her crying and pitiful appearance, unmoved, and her mind had been decided.

Concubine Xiang shook her head, she knew that when the imperial doctor came, she couldn't hide anything, when she was pregnant, let Imperial Doctor He keep her mouth shut first.

The hand holding the tassel almost collapsed to the point of weakness, she really knew what the dead end was, just like she was now, she couldn't argue, and the truth could only wait for this sanction.

Don't, she doesn't want to be ruined like this, ruined at the hands of a mad man, she still has to continue to be beside Cang Linchen, be his woman, go farther and climb higher, she still has to be the queen, be the master of the harem, can't just be ruined!

Thinking about it, she stood up, stared at Qin Hao with scarlet eyes, and asked in a condescending voice that almost squeezed out between her teeth: "You say, who are you instructed to harm me, you say!" ”

Her sharp voice was very harsh, and the empty imperial study echoed her questioning, but Qin Hao just spread his hands innocently and said: "Niangniang, you are committed to me, and I have loved Niangniang for a long time, how can I tell me?" ”

"Nonsense!" Concubine Xiang scolded, and at that moment, the cat's waist grabbed Qin Hao's neckline, and roared hoarsely: "Say, is the murderer behind the scenes Xia Yinhuan, she wants to take revenge on me, so she resorted to such indiscriminate means, isn't it!" ”

As soon as her words came out, Qin Hao couldn't answer, and Cang Rinchen directly threw the inkstone on the table on the ground, planning to say something about the two of them.

"I tell you, Yin Huan is not like you, even if she wants to kill you, she will not beat around the bush." Cang Linchen was unhappy in his heart, what he did, he didn't want any stain to contaminate Xia Yinhuan, looked at Concubine Xiang who was attracted by the sound and continued: "You are deliberately trying to harm Yinhuan, and you are planning to harm the fetus in her womb, don't think I don't know, and now you are doing such a shameless thing, what do you say I want to do with you!" ”

Word by word, she first counted her crimes and then convicted her, Concubine Xiang gradually let go of Qin Hao's hand, and her mind was blank.

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't, she didn't do anything sorry for Your Majesty, the concubine didn't ......" She still wanted to explain as hard as she could, but she had no extra strength, her tone was intermittent, and her abdomen began to cramp, as if someone was pulling her internal organs.

Ling'er was already stunned, and she only now understood why Concubine Xiang suddenly stayed away from her, and suddenly didn't discuss anything with her. She never thought that the child in Concubine Xiang's belly was actually Qin Hao's.

She was sober to the people present, in her opinion, this matter was very strange, first Qin Hao took the initiative to find Cang Rinchen and admit that Concubine Xiang's child was his, and then Qin Hao's attitude, I couldn't see the slightest timidity.

He is not a three-year-old child, and he is about thirty years old, so it is impossible not to know that adultery is a major crime that will cost him his head.

Cang Rinchen looked coldly at Concubine Xiang, who had been screaming aggrieved, there was no sadness or joy on his face, whether Concubine Xiang had committed adultery or not, whether the child was his, he didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't have a ......" Concubine Xiang kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, she wanted to tell Cang Rinchen that all this was not her willing, but the darkness in front of her fell unconsciously.
